Sometimes, irony just stinks.

First off - this was a no pay week. So God, I love Ya, but you get no money from me. How about I just sing Ya a song of praise? Well fine then - I hope the blender makes You happy!

But seriously - I have this text file of blog ideas. Some for here, and some for the other side of my brain. I was wondering where this particular one I am discussing today fell, but I think I can sort of work it here. See - when I first read this article, I was pretty sickened, and well....it went south from there. Hypocrisy hit a new level over that dinner in my mind, considering the reason they had all been brought together. Do you think any leader looked at another across the table and made some joke over the irony of their meal in regard to their discussions during the weekend?

Well, thinking more about this story reminds me how we cannot rely completely on the government for everything. Many things - yes. But there are just some things that are up to us to resolve. That's really why we are The Body, aren't we? To do His will and take care of His children. Sometimes we care, and sometimes it is us that is cared for. There will never be a time without need. I think I know a Book that talks about that..... Oh yeah - here it is: Deuteronomy 15:7-11.

That's why I need to tithe. And I say need in the sense of a joyful way that becomes habit for me. Just not a habit that I forget why I write that check in the first place. Someone needs me.
